Histropedia Sheets is a new free tool for creating interactive timelines from spreadsheets published online with Google Sheets. It allows you to create custom timelines for any purpose using simple spreadsheet knowledge only. The columns in your spreadsheet are used to add colour codes, filters and related content for each Event. The resulting timeline can be viewed full screen or embedded on a web page. Because the timeline data comes from Google Sheets, it’s easy to collaborate with others by managing the access rights to your spreadsheet.

Here’s an overview of what’s coming: Smoother and easier timeline scrolling If we have done our job right you may not even notice these changes. The aim of the new features is to improve the way in which you interact with the timeline, and to prevent annoying movement of events as you scroll through time.

When we are busy creating new things, we sometimes forget to tell the world what we are doing. So here is a long overdue and hopefully very exciting update on what's being going on at Histropedia recently. HistropediaJS - Timeline Renderer The Biggest news is the launch of HistropediaJS, a JavaScript library that renders timelines using the same core engine as the main Histropedia site.
